Amisani paints the woman of to-day, the
woman of Italian society, yet he can show
us another side of himself as landscape
painter, and among lakes and high moun-
tains (Lago d’Orta, II Cervino) find his
inspiration ; or again treat such a com-
plex theme as his Santa Teresa. 0 0
Signor Eugenio Pellini shows here some
fifty works in bronze and marble, among
which his St.Francis(bronze)is to be noted:
one of his most successful groups, Gioia, a
mother embracing her child, is not among
those here. S. B.
KOVNO.—Petras Rimsa, the famous
Lithuanian sculptor, now visiting
London, was born in October, 1881, in
the Suvalki district of Lithuania. Between
1898 and 1901 he studied art privately at
Warsaw. In 1902 he went to Paris, where
he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts,
working in the atelier of the well-known
professor of sculpture Mercie. In 1904 he
travelled in the South of Europe, intending
to return to Paris, but did not do so.
Instead he remained at Cracow and entered
the art school of Professor Laszczka.
Later he went to Vilna, where he lived till
the outbreak of the War. 000
He was one of the founders of the
Lithuanian Art Association (Lietuviu
Dailes Draugija), and annually partici-
pated in the Lithuanian art exhibitions,
his work being frequently displayed at the
Petersburg, Moscow, and other art exhibi-
tions. In 1908 at Petersburg he was
awarded the second prize for his Plough-
man’s Horse. Throughout the War he lived
in Russia. During this period he worked
on his famous figures Grief (Skaus-
mas), Man with an Owl and Day and
Night, which had to be completed under
great difficulties. 0000
Rimsa is undoubtedly the foremost
Lithuanian sculptor and has a large follow-
ing. Besides carving in stone and wood and
modelling in bronze, etc., he is an expert
draughtsman and has illustrated numerous
books and designed many book covers. 0
